About me

Gender Female
Occupation Freelance Writer; Server
Location Long Beach, CA, United States
Introduction This blog initially began as a way for me to pick up the pen and start writing again. (Although, I guess it would technically be picking up the KEYBOARD and start typing again, but that sounds far less romantic...) It has since morphed into a beautiful marriage of my three favorite things: food, wine and writing. Half my blog posts are biographical and consist of various snippets from my life. The other half are dedicated to reviewing wines and pairing them with delicious recipes. So, if you'd like some new inspiration in the kitchen, want to learn more about winetasting, or just want to read about my random adventures, then raise your glasses and join me because -- let's face it -- drinking alone is never any fun! And leave me comments, too -- especially if you like the recipes or have a new way of adapting them.
